The cover is amazing but it's the best thing about this book. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all it's just kinda boring. I would love it if this mini was a segue into a New Warriors series but it's just old Power Man stories retold.
NIGHT THRASHER versus SILHOUETTE!
In the wake of his battle with THE O.G., Night Thrasher is caught between the forces of law and order and some of his oldest and closest friends. Dwayne must find a way to keep Harlem from exploding into violence...even if it costs him everything!
Rated T+
This finale is EPIC!!! If only other IP's were given this same care and attention. No slice of life bs here people, just magnificence on paper.
MINISERIES FINALE
Codename: G.I. Joe Is Here Duke has been betrayed by his allies and hunted by new enemies. The time has come for Duke to start fighting for something bigger than his country. Bigger than he ever could have imagined. Get ready for the last page shocker that no one will see coming!
Does anyone know if that was supposed to be future slaughter's marauders member Mercer standing next to Destro or is that just wishful thinking?
Duke is close to discovering the truth about the alien robots that have landed on Earth.
But who-or what-is M.A.R.S.?
Pretty decent stuff here. I prefer this to the new Zorro series because unlike that series this one isn't a new take on the character, it's just who Dick Tracy has always been. Too many times we get a resurgence of a property and the assigned writer feels they have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it works but just as often it simply falls flat. I think this was the best approach for such an omore
DICK TRACY RETURNS IN A NEW ONGOING SERIES FROM MAD CAVE!
A new era for the iconic detective starts here, from bestselling and acclaimed authors Alex Segura and Michael Moreci, as an all-new, noir-infused chapter in the Dick Tracy legacy kicks off with superstar artist Geraldo Borges.
In the aftermath of World War II, the country stands fro...
Ughh. The art change should have been up to the previous issues standards but here it's really just run of the mill. That being said I really enjoyed this book and it basically crawled at a snails pace but I think we needed this issue to really understand some of the new characters (and yes I consider all these familiar faces new because this is a totally different ball game). We are expected tmore
WHO IS THE GREEN GOBLIN?
Peter Parker's secret life starts fraying the edges of his personal life! J. Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker's pursuit of truth - or, at least, the news - stirs unrest with the world at large... And now that Spider-Man may not have to operate alone, the real work of rebuilding this corrupt world can begin!
Rated T
One of the few big two books I'm willing to pay $5 for. Aside from Ultimate Spider-Man, this is the best series Marvel is putting out and I'm afraid it won't get the recognition it deserves because everyone is buying shit like Amazing Spider-Man and X-Men instead.
Dimitri is an orphan who was born in the Cosmodrome. Out there somewhere is what he's been looking for his whole life. The way in is the way through. All you have to do is listen for the signal.
Rated T+
I heard about this issue and HAD to read it and yeah, it's one of King's worst. Damn I miss Greg Rucka. Put simply this is cliche bullshit. The Sovereign is an old man who is incompetent apparently cause he's done NOTHING in this run. Is that what King wants to tell us all, that the patriarchy has no real power beyond what we give it? Dear Lord. Wonder Woman is a stereotypical housewife again. Wmore
WONDER WOMAN VS. THE SOVEREIGN! After being captured by a team of villains, Diana finds herself at the mercy of the scariest of them all. Unbeknownst to our hero, the Sovereign has been pulling her strings since the very beginning of our tale, and now it's time for her to see the world his way as she falls under the influence of the Lasso of Lies! ...
Not much happens here but it's all building to something and for $2.99 I think this is a pretty damn good deal. I like detective stories and this one is just fine for some downtime reading.
The hunt for a murderer brings to light an old case our two distinguished detectives thought long closed. Could there be a missing connection?
I just read the entire series based on the reviews for this issue and I must say this was amazing. You will fall in love with Rose or Elliott...or both if that's how you roll lol. You will cry and cheer and just be happy to be a comic fan after reading this epic conclusion. Truly fantastic.
SERIES FINALE
The gruesome saga of Rose and the Girl Who Wouldn't Burn comes to its thrilling conclusion in this EPIC, DOUBLE-LENGTH FINAL ISSUE of KILL YOUR DARLINGS.
Star is trash. Foxe has her saying she's not a bad person so many times then has her do bad things. Yeah, super funny Steve. Jess talks about going off the tracks then Star happens to blow up the bridge Jess is looking at...again, super funny (eye roll). Star causes tons of destruction that she didn't care about before as long as she got Jessica Drew then doesn't get her when she has the chancemore
SAN FRANCISCO BOUND!
Brokenhearted, Jess decides to leave New York for a fresh start. But the trek across country will not be a smooth ride. A new adventure starts here! Introducing some new faces and with the potential to become New...Champions?!
Rated T+
A fun comic with stellar art. This is right up my alley because I've wanted more deep space/cosmic odyssey books for years. Weird it's a Batman book that gives that to me.
In a faraway, war-torn galaxy, Batman sets his sights on the villainous Blakksun Mining Company. But standing in his way is the most ruthless bounty hunter in the universe, a man known only as the Thanagarian.
Chapter 2 keeps the action going with a well crafted story and surprising universe continuity cross over with GL and the United Planets quarantine plot. Most writers just ignore and are allowed to ignore those pesky details but not my man Joshua Williamson. Williamson is great but I will say....Lobo's not actually a man of his word lol. Far from it. Other than that I highly enjoyed this issue.
HOUSE OF BRAINIAC PART TWO! Superman and Lobo...team-up? Together, the Man of Steel and the Main Man race across the universe on a hunt for the Lobo Army and Brainiac. Can they get along long enough to get to them before Brainiac enacts the next stage of his dangerous plans to create a new House of Brainiac?!
This is a Superman book and Superman event done well.
HOUSE OF BRAINIAC PART ONE! BRAINIAC ATTACKS! Brainiac's Lobo army invades Metropolis in an action-packed oversized issue! The Super family and all the heroes of Metropolis join the fight, but will they be enough to hold off Brainiac's lethal and crazed soldiers?! Can Superman and Lex learn what Brainiac is searching for? He's not bottling Metropol...
Spoiler...
Genis-Vell deserved a better death than to be killed by Alyssa Wong's amateur hour ass.
THE UNDONE IS DONE WITH WAITING FOR THE NEGA-BANDS!
Her herald, the Omen, has so far failed to kill Captain Marvel or her pesky civilian tagalong, Yuna Yang - and the Undone's patience is up. Carol can take out just about any Earthly threat, but the Undone isn't from Earth, and the Captain has never faced an entity on this scale. With Yuna and...
Damn this is good! Perfectly paced with emotional, explosive fight scenes and beautiful art. AND THAT ENDING!!!
America and democracy are under attack! Can THE AVENGERS of tomorrow save a country from itself, as their greatest enemy dismantles everything CAPTAIN AMERICA holds dear? It's a battle decades in the making, and no one is safe!
Rated T+
Very bloody and dark which is what you want from a GR title but very little substance. I don't care if red hood asked or made a deal for the spirit of vengeance, it doesn't make sense why Mephisto never removed it from Johnny or Danny before now. Writers want it, so now it's a thing and common sense be damned I guess. This issue is not terrible but it's too far removed from the previous run and Imore
THE NEW GHOST RIDER!
There's a new Spirit of Vengeance in town and he's looking to run the place. There will be no stopping THIS rider. The mystery of Johnny Blaze's disappearance continues!
Rated T+
Another disappointing issue of what if. There was so much that could have been done with a strange/venom character but here we get practically nothing new or exciting. The idea that Strange couldn't handle the symbiote is dumb but necessary for the story, I get that. I just wish the writer had come up with an actual reason behind why the symbiote got through the Doc's defenses so easily. The wmore
THE SYMBIOTE SUPREME!
NONE ARE SAFE from the Venom symbiote's permeation of every corner of yesteryear and the present alike with its inky, black tendrils...not even DOCTOR STRANGE, THE SORCERER SUPREME! BY THE CRYING CREATURES OF KLYNTAR, THIS IS ONE YOU CAN'T MISS!
Rated T+
I'm not going to score this book because I just can't get past a few real world facts to get at the meat of what King wants to showcase here and I think that should be what the book should be judged on...yes I'm giving King an out here. The humans don't ever come back and just abandon the building, the animals possess the ability and knowledge to run the camera and set up the funds to order everymore
As freedom and democracy flourish, the animals work together to set up a steady stream of donations for the pound, and all seems well for a time.
However, tensions build as the fairness of the current system is called into question, and when Piggy the dog decides to run for election, he does something unthinkable that shocks all of the ani...
So Hawkeye, who has been going without a mask for years at this point and is an avenger, on television, known to practically everyone on earth, especially the rich and powerful, infiltrates a card game as a spy with no disguise and not one person knows who he is???? A simple fake beard and hair dye could have gone a long way here!!! WTF? I expect this from Phillips who is not the best writer bumore
When tensions between Black Widow's symbiote and Hawkeye put Clint's life in danger, Natasha will have to decide where her loyalties lie - and what she's willing to do to prove it. Meanwhile, Clint's enemies are moving in fast, and their uniforms seem awfully familiar...
Rated +
This book has some serious balls. I think this is by far the best issue of the series.
THE ENERGON UNIVERSE IS IN DANGER.
Cobra Commander has found a new ally-willing or not-that may just make him unstoppable.
Unless, of course, someone is one step ahead of him...
Solid ending to a great series. Respect for the golden age heroes is a wonderful thing to see. Too bad about Alan though.
Jay and Judy's battle with Doctor Elemental comes to a head! Can Jay save his daughter, or is this reunion over before it's even begun?!
One thing I really love about this series is that it doesn't hold your hand. This world is rife with possibilities and we discover some new tidbits each issue. I would have liked a bit more action but the story progression in this issue is enough to make me want to come back for issue 3.
The right thing to do is never the easy thing, and convincing others to help you is even harder. An empath and a dream spinner have 24 hours to break into the forbidden temple dome city of the Magnificent Leader to rescue the only person who can save the world and kill the god who is hell-bent on destroying it.
This issue has one of the best covers with some of the weakest story. It's not bad, it just moves a bit too quickly with a coming to terms cave moment that doesn't hit the way it should. I would have preferred to go straight to the bears scene and got a little more on the back end. I still enjoyed it though.
Sam's foe was quick and mighty cleverNow Sam must skip town, maybe forever. The town doesn't trust her, they think she's the one. So Sam's on her own, and alone she must run. But maybe, just maybe, she'll learn in the wild. And return to that town, to face the devil child.
The description of this issue is right there in the title...Fantastic! North & Gomez really hit it out of the park on this one and the final moments with noir Alicia were so moving I wanted to do a slow clap lol. Great stuff.
She came in trouble, all five feet, six inches of it. Even her name was a warning that things were about to get bad for me, real quick: "Storm." Miss Susie Storm, standing there in a blue gown custom-made to take years off the life of anyone who saw her, big as life in my crummy office. The doll needed a private eye to find her boyfriend. Seems he'...
This book went from cool to monotonous to just plain bad. When the hell was the last time we saw or even heard about the mother of horrors or the eldest? This book is verrrry close to getting taken off my pull list.
HULK SMASHES FROZEN CHARLOTTE ONCE AND FOR ALL! The monstrous, ethereal, demonic/angelic Frozen Charlotte has plagued New Orleans for centuries, and it's high time to put a stop to it. And Hulk is just the guy to do it. Plus, Eldest makes another tempting offer to Bruce Banner...
Rated T+
I really wanted to love this but between the bad art and the uninspired dialogue I just can't recommend this comic. I gave the first two books a pass but here is where I have to call a spade a spade. The plot seems to be decent and different enough from the original continuity to pique old school fans interests but it seems that Shalvey isn't as great at writing as plotting. It seems this is desmore
As the wary ThunderCats continue to explore their new home, Lion-O finds himself inexplicably drawn to Calica, the beautiful and mysterious survivor of the crashed Mu'Tant ship. But Panthro and Cheetara view the unfamiliar Thundarian with suspicion, and the ensuing confrontation threatens to fracture their fragile new society - leaving them vulnera...
IDK. I love me some new IP's but Chasm is just a re-skinned Spidey and Hallows Eve looks too much like Hobgoblin to really qualify in my book. Feels like Miles and Kamala syndrome. The goblin Queen is....yet another Goblin and I'm really sick and tired of arrested development Peter. This isn't a bad issue and is in fact one of the better issues of late, but I'm just too checked out at this poimore
After the events of WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1, Chasm is on the loose! Spider-Man better track down his erstwhile clone and Hallows' Eve ASAP! We're getting closer to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50!
Rated T
Crossover and something epic vibes abound in this book but don't be fooled, this comic can stand on it's own and it's highly entertaining.
Oliver is a seemingly typical 12 year old boy... except for a mysterious family history that seems to start and end with his mother, and unexplainable powers, that is.
He can do things other boys can't, to the point of landing him in some trouble. Baffled by the surreal cartoonish nature of his abilities and followed by a murder of peculia...
This was a good start and I appreciate them keeping the price low despite the high number of pages. The world-building is great. I felt sorry for Swine since we didn't really get to delve into him too much. The artwork is awesome as well. I agree with everyone's worry that Geoff Johns wont be able to keep up with a monthly schedule, but I guess we will see.
